• Delete both. I was thinking that maybe Salt & vinegar could be expanded since it's such a common flavor (and one of my favorites), but it fails WP:RS. Could be mentioned in potato chip. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 04:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both. While cheese and onions go well together, as do salt and vinegar on potato crisps (or chips, here states side), they don't taste so good on a Wikipedia. Sorry. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 04:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both - Completely reduntdant the fact that both are used as spices is already stated at their respective pages. - Caribbean~H.Q. 05:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both and redirect to potato chip. Should have added my own vote in the initial post. Dbromage [Talk] 05:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I think most people can tell from the nomination what action you're advocating. But y'know, I'm slightly more bothered by the lack of world-wide perspective to these articles. Seem a bit UK-centric. Oh well, I don't know that there's enough content to merit an article on them, though potato chip flavoring may be sustainable on its own. FrozenPurpleCube 05:28, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both. Will we have to create Salt and pepper as a popular pair of table condiments? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eaolson (talk • contribs) 05:24, August 23, 2007 (UTC).

I dunno, but Salt n pepper is a hip-hop trio. FrozenPurpleCube 05:28, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

• Do I have to spell it out? An individual flavor of a kind of snack is not notable. If it is a very prominent flavor, that may be grounds for a mention in the Potato chip article, but I don't see why flavors should get their own articles, especially considering how little information there is.

  • I just worked out the reference! :) Dbromage [Talk] 06:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete both. In the same sense that there are "colas" and "root beers" it might be possible to have an article on a flavoring applied to chips/crisps as well as a variety of other snack foods. But certainly an article about a flavor on ONE snack food is unnecessary. --Dhartung | Talk 05:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, expand stub thoroughly. Certainly not a difficult article to expand upon. There are numerous brands that use it, and numerous ingredients that go into creating it, a process, etc. MrPrada 06:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

• Response Even if there is material which we could use to expand it, how is this particular flavor (or any flavor of potato chip, for that matter) notable enough to have an entire article devoted to it? Calgary 08:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Not sure that chips have to follow BLP guidelines for notability. The manufacture, distribution, usage, etc., have encyclopedic value, although assembling that would be nigh-impossible so I'm sure merging it into the potato chip article is just as good as keeping it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrPrada (talk • contribs) 21:28, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Per lack of notability as to why these pairs of condiments are notable. Corpx 07:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Food and drink-related deletions. —Dbromage [Talk] 07:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both. I'd like to see Sour cream and chives, however not on this project.--Hu12 09:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and change I think there is maybe scope for an article on Crisp flavourings as there are so many and, as MrPrada mentioned, there are certainly processes and ingredients used that could be written about and would prove interesting. It would require an expert though. - sorry, forgot to sign --Mrtombullen 12:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and Redirect both to Potato chip per Dbromage. —gorgan_almighty 13:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or alter - The article doesn't seem to make itself look notable. However, if new information was added, the article may provide useful. TheInfinityZero 16:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Potato chip. Verging on a keep myself, as they were the first crisps (or chips, even if that word sounds really wrong to me :O)) that were flavoured as part of the production process rather than coming with separate bags of salt, but there is an extensive "seasoned chips" section in the Potato chip article that covers the history quite well and could be expanded FlowerpotmaN·(t) 21:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect both to Potato chip per above. Thin Arthur 08:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Calgary. Do we need an article on every single flavor of potato chips? No. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
